Gürsan, C. (author), de Gooyert, V. (author), de Bruijne, M.L.C. (author), Raaijmakers, J. (author)District heating systems are considered a feasible heating alternative to replace natural gas to mitigate emissions in cities. However, urban transitions are very complex because energy systems often operate in densely populated areas, which gives rise to all kinds of interdependencies in cities. These interdependencies can result in...journal article 2024

van der Hoek, D.C. (author), Van den Abbeele, B.H.L. (author), Ferreira, Carlos (author), van Wingerden, J.W. (author)Wind farm control can play a key role in reducing the negative impact of wakes on wind turbine power production. The helix approach is a recent innovation in the field of wind farm control, which employs individual blade pitch control to induce a helical velocity profile in a wind turbine wake. This forced meandering of the wake has turned...journal article 2024

He, K. (author), Shi, S. (author), van den Boom, A.J.J. (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author)Approximate dynamic programming (ADP) faces challenges in dealing with constraints in control problems. Model predictive control (MPC) is, in comparison, well-known for its accommodation of constraints and stability guarantees, although its computation is sometimes prohibitive. This paper introduces an approach combining the two methodologies...journal article 2024

Fidalgo Domingos, D.A. (author), Wellens, P.R. (author), van Wingerden, J.W. (author)As a result of more stable wind conditions and the depletion of near-shore locations, wind farms are moving farther offshore into deeper waters, challenging the current limits of offshore heavy-lift operations. This paper presents and verifies a novel frequency-domain framework to perform extensive site-specific analysis, of floating...journal article 2024

Moeis, Armand Omar (author), Gita, Agatha Ayu (author), Destyanto, A.R. (author), Rahman, Irvanu (author), Hidayatno, Akhmad (author), Zagloel, Teuku Yuri (author)Special Economic Zone (SEZ) development is becoming a preferable policy by the Indonesian government to boost economic growth in less-developed local regions. This is because of the promise that SEZ could attract investment and job creation based on local competitive commodities. One of these areas is Bitung SEZ, North Sulawesi - Indonesia, a...journal article 2024

Diaz, Vitali (author), Corzo Perez, Gerald A. (author), Van Lanen, Henny A.J. (author), Solomatine, D.P. (author)In its three-dimensional (3-D) characterization, drought is an event whose spatial extent changes over time. Each drought event has an onset and end time, a location, a magnitude, and a spatial trajectory. These characteristics help to analyze and describe how drought develops in space and time (i.e., drought dynamics). Methodologies for 3-D...book chapter 2024
